Hi , just a question about tyre wear on my ybr125. I'm not sure if the rear tyre needs replacing as i'm not sure what to look for as regards the tyre wear indicator.The bike has done about 5000 miles.Thanks in advance Smile

It doesn't look like it needs replacing but you're looking at it wrong from those pics. You need to be looking at the centre of the tyre, there should be obvious markers in the tread, if the tyre has worn to their level then it's time to replace it.

Hi

Looking at the 2nd pic it does look close to the limit. The limit is 1mm of tread in the centre 3/4 (some wear indicators might be at 1.6mm).

All the best
